I wrote this in relation to current political troubles. Any views are welcome. Thank you
The money exchanged
- a regular hand
All on the basis
of bloodied land
A race has fulfilled
its promise to a protector
Demanding its deliverance
To this, the greatest power
All on the basis
of bloodied land
Bureaucratic anomalies
forgotten and hidden
Bills saturated scarlet
All a result of what's given
When it serves them
they oppose
Like a game they jostle
the pretence is played
without remorse, they toil
Yet within these white walls
together they stand
Quietly nodding
on the basis
of bloodied land
Hands they shake
- a familiar gesture
Conveniently forgetting
the stains they share
Those fallen so young
worthless in the scheme
Their place is to lie
rotting beneath their land
Their bloodied land
